question could the engine not fire if there is no neautral safety switch...

[Charger-Bodie]

question could the engine not fire if there is no neautral safety switch...

the neutral saftey switch will stop the starter from working but not the ignition system.

[Lurker]

thats very possible, if you are running a remote starter button, if i was at home and could flip through my books i could tell you in a hurry. if i remember right when the tranny is in nuetral or park the switch is connected to ground? i could be backwards though, that sheds a whole new light on things and someone here should remember whether to ground the lead or not to get it to start

does it just disable the starter or does it ground ignition aswell, my memory is rusty

[mikepmcs]

My NS switch is always unplugged and my car starts just fine.

update:

double double checked all wires and position of rotor....had some precombustion in the carb then nothing.have a small gas leak down threw the headers(they are open no exhaust yet)have fuel into pump out the pump into the line into carb but when manually open the carb no fuel going in...tried a cap or so of fuel direct into carb and still nothing.......

[chargerman68]

is it normal for no oil or gas on my plugs....i thought it was supposed too have alittle....is there something wrong

[supserdave]

Have you pulled a plug and checked if your getting spark? Make sure you let the place air out, and take out a plug and make sure your getting a bright blue spark.

Thats strange that it will only crank 3 times, maybe a faulty solenoid switch? Even if your timing is way off it should still turn over more than 3 times.

Also, do you have the plug wire on #1 on the distributor cap? You need to make sure that you check for TDC and then set your #1 wire, then the rest of your firing order.

[chargerman68]

im using a remote starter not threw the ign switch....checked all wire and #1 on cap also firing order all checked out.

[mikepmcs]

[supserdave]

I mean the actual relay switch on the firewall.....

Did you check for spark?

[General_01]

Here is a question. When you are turning the car over with the remote starter, do you have the key in the run position? Not sure if it needs to be, but just something to throw out there. I think your timing is advanced to far, that is why it only cranks 3 times.

[chargerman68]

sorry mike was at er with wifey

will check on the run position.

how do i retart the timing.i tried to manually move the distributor back and forth.

how should i check the switch on the relay have both light and mutli meter(which one is eaier to fiqure out)

stick your light on the power lead to the coil, i think you mentioned you had power there already but check it while cranking the engine over and see if you don't have the ingnition wired into a run circiut instead of a run/start circuit.

[chargerman68]

will check into it in the am

[Lurker]

if that doesn't work i have another idea, you will need holy water, an ordained minister, rosary beeds and a darkroom with a few candles....

[chargerman68]

i fiqure this car as been nothing but fighting me since i got it painted.we might need that order first then try the basic stuff later
